		<description><![CDATA[It feels strangely good to get back to writing again.  I&#8217;ve been oddly silent for a few months, for a reason that I&#8217;m about to explain.  During this time I learned a lesson about what really drives me to do this, and how hard it is not to write.
The reason I&#8217;ve had to be silent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are a kid, there are a lot of influences on you and your general outlook on life.   Parents are obvious, music is pretty common, teachers are important.  For me, there was one that was critical, and seems pretty unusual: the movie &#8216;Real Genius&#8217;  It happened to be on cable last night, and I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the real advantages of working in a start up is the relatively limited number of meetings.  I&#8217;m no fan of the meeting.  It usually seems like there&#8217;s 10 minutes of useful information for every hour in a meeting.  I do understand that they have some merit at times, but too often they get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting things about &#8220;living&#8221; online is the sheer number of places that we need to maintain our identity.  From the social networking perspective, I have three: facebook, linkedin and twitter.  All have their own followers/friends and all have different purposes in my mind.  I try to keep facebook personal, linkedin professional, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It probably goes without saying that Valentine&#8217;s makes for a busy time at a dating site.  It&#8217;s just sort of amazing to me that it is.  It&#8217;s the middle of winter, everyone&#8217;s just gotten over the Christmas season, and yet we find time to dedicate a holiday to love.  Isn&#8217;t love sort of a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last several weeks have been rather crazy as we had our official launch.   Sometimes things don&#8217;t go according to plan, but work out great anyhow.  I&#8217;ve had a number of interviews, and it amazes me how many people seem to quickly &#8220;get&#8221; what we&#8217;re trying to do.  We&#8217;re more than free at downtoearth.com.  We&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last few weeks have had the typical Christmas and New Year&#8217;s activity, combined with that of trying to doing our startup.  It&#8217;s made for basically no time off, as I was doing customer care over the &#8220;break&#8221; as much as building out our launch plan and testing our marketing.
Customer care itself is an interesting [...]]]></description>
